The
United States has deployed sophisticated F-22 fighter jets to the
United Arab Emirates amid deepening tensions between Iran and its pro-US
neighbors, officials said Monday.
The US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, would not say how many F-22s would be sent to the Al-Dhafra air base in the United Arab Emirates. Military officers tend to avoid publicly discussing details of operations at the US air base.
An Air Force spokeswoman confirmed that a number of F-22 Raptors, the
most advanced fighter in the US fleet, would be deployed to the region
without mentioning the base or Iran.
"The United States Air Force has deployed F-22s to Southwest Asia. Such deployments strengthen military-to-military relationships, promote sovereign and regional security, improve combined tactical air operations, and enhance interoperability of forces, equipment and procedures," said Major Mary Danner-Jones.

Barack Obama campaigned four years ago
assailing President George W. Bush for wage losses suffered by
the middle class. More than three years into Obama’s own
presidency, those declines have only deepened.
The rebound from the worst recession since the 1930s has
generated relatively few of the moderately skilled jobs that
once supported the middle class, tightening the financial
squeeze on many Americans, even those who are employed.

“It started long before Obama, but he hasn’t done
anything,” said John Forsyth, 58, a railroad-car inspector and
political independent from Lebanon, Ohio. “He kept pushing this
change, change, change, and he hasn’t done anything.”
